The supermarket was packed to the brim with people. It was as if they didn't want any money. Shu Shu pushed the cart and could only walk alongside the crowd.
Thinking back to the past when he bought New Year's products with his mother, the supermarket was also bustling with activity. However, the mother and daughter duo quickly finished the shopping with each other. It was not like this, where one couldn't move another at all.
Since the year was out, there were many thieves too. They had to keep watch over the items or else they would be picked up by the pickpockets if they were not careful.
In the end, she brought out the four big bags, which were the fruits of a long shopping spree. Two of them were food ingredients, and during the new year, it was very difficult to buy anything, so she had to prepare some more. The other two bags were for other daily necessities, so she bought them as soon as she needed them.
Ever since she married Ling Qiao, she hadn't spent much of her money. She had given most of her salary to her mother, but after her mother left, she had left most of it for herself. She had two cards in her purse, one for herself and one from Ling Qiao. When she just paid the bill, she took out her card to pay the bill. There was a total of 800 yuan, which was also a little contribution to their family. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to calm down.
The supermarket wasn't too far from Chun Shuyuan's place, but these four bags were heavy. Just as she was about to take a taxi, a silver car stopped in front of her.
"Deputy Station Head, it's you. I was just wondering why this car is in such a state. Are all of it in other people's way?"
Chen Jiaxian had just gotten his car from the repair workshop and called the trailer to tow it away in the middle of the night. He did some maintenance on the way and happened to see Shu Shu passing by.
"Aren't you afraid of being recognized?"
"It's just a few photos. Is there a need for everyone to know about it?" The supermarket are filled with housewives, so I don't have the time to care about that sort of gossip. "
Seeing that she was struggling to carry him, Chen Jiqian got out of the car and helped her carry him in the trunk. "Oh, you really bought a lot. There were prawns and crabs, all of which Ling Qiao loved to eat."
"I like it too."
After getting on the car, Shu Shu rubbed her hands together, her palms had marks on them from the heavy lifting.
The Chen family switched on the heating, "Is it cold?"
"It's cold. My hands are frozen." Seeing the Chen family's heavy dark circles, Shu Shu had an apologetic expression, "Deputy Station Head, you've been involved in my matter, I'm really sorry."
Chen Jiaxi smiled gently, "No need to be sorry, I'm tired. But because of this incident, the efficiency of the television station has increased by a lot."
"Really?"
"Really, when did I lie to you?"
"Haha, that's good …" Deputy Station Head, will the television station fire me because of this? " She had been worrying about this for days.
Chen Jiqian deliberately kept her in suspense, "I think as long as you serve Ling Qiao well, he won't fire you. He's the major shareholder of the television station, and is also one of your bosses."
"Huh?" This was the first time he heard of such a thing. He had always thought that the Ling Bai Corporation and the wireless television station were in a cooperative relationship, but who knew that Ling Qiao even had a share. He was truly an omnipresent capitalist.
"Don't you know? "Sigh, you really don't care about your husband."
"Hur hur, then I'll just worry about him in the future." Thinking about it, she had a lot of things she didn't know about to Ling Qiao, but today when she met Chen family's Qian, she was in a much better mood.
"Deputy Station Head, when is the television station going on vacation?"
"There are no holidays in the station during the new year. The more holidays, the busier it gets. Where would the holidays be?"
"True …"
After chatting for a while, they arrived at the house. The Chen family's Qian helped her carry the bags into the house, which touched her. She hurriedly ran to give him a cup of hot tea, "Deputy Station Head, come in and have a seat. Drink some tea to warm your hands. It's really too cold outside."
"Thanks, I still have things to do, so I won't be sitting." Chen Jiaxi took a sip of his tea and was about to turn around to leave, but stopped and said, "Did you see the news today?"
Shushu shook her head. "I haven't switched on the TV in days to make sure I'm not in a worse mood."
"That's true. That's fine. Happy New Year."
"Yes, Happy New Year."
Chen Jia Qian put down her teacup and left. According to the latest news, Shen Xiaoxuan fainted in the recording studio and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
After leaving Chun Shuyuan's courtyard, Chen thought for a while before going to the hospital to see if she was really sick, or to pretend to be sick and run away.
There were many reporters guarding the hospital gate. Shen Xiaoxuan's agent was in the middle of an interview. Chen Jiaxian parked his car in a temporary parking spot and walked into the hospital.
After asking for the nurse's ward number, he walked over.
Shen Xiaoxuan's room's door was not closed. The Chen family's Qian looked in through the small window in the middle and saw her wearing a hospital gown, standing by the window. It was unknown what she was in a daze for.
He knocked on the door, "Come in!" Her voice came from inside. It was a bit weak, a bit powerless.
Chen Jiaxi pushed the door and entered, "It's me."
Shen Xiaoxuan saw that it was an enemy, she gathered her energy and gathered her energy, and said: "Deputy Station Head Chen, it's you? Are you here to work or to visit? "
They all used "You." That's it, such polite words sounded really awkward. Chen Jia Qian clapped his hands, "It seems I was rude to come here empty-handed." Miss Shen, don't pretend to be mentally ill. If you're sick, you'll look like a patient. "
Shen Xiaoxuan did not want to argue with him. In any case, her career as an artist was almost over, and she would never interact with these people again, "Then you can sit down and take whatever you want." She supported herself to the wall and lay down slowly.
"Are you really sick?"
Shen Xiaoxuan pulled the blanket over her and ignored him.
"Did you get a good picture of the magazine?"
"Thanks to you, the photo was taken smoothly. The scratches were covered up."
"Hur hur, that's good."
"If there's nothing special, you can go. The doctor said that I need to rest, so I need to rest more."
The warm and jade-like him had never had a temper before. Shen Xiaoxuan's little temper couldn't keep him in check, so he said, "I'm actually a little busy here. I have an activity in my hands, I don't know if Miss Shen is interested in talking about it."
"Tell my agent."
"The cover of LA Magazine. Are you interested?"
Shen Xiaoxuan gawked. LA Magazine was a fashion magazine with a very high international popularity. The cover of the previous issue had always been a top celebrity. If she could appear on the cover of the magazine, it would be very helpful to her. However, she was also afraid that this was a trap. If even Chen Jiaxi knew that she had betrayed ShuShu, would he still help her?
"Not interested? "It's a rare opportunity. A lot of A-list celebrities are fighting for it." Chen Jia Qian reminded.
Shen Xiaoxuan sat up, she still did not want to give up any chance, "Why me?"
"The editor of LA magazine is my friend. He asked me to find a suitable celebrity. He wants to make a new edition for the first issue next year. I hope the cover is also new. I think your image is very suitable."
Shen Xiaoxuan vigilantly asked, "Even if the matter of me betraying ShuShu was not exposed, Ling Qiao would not give me another chance. I have walked to the end of this road, why would I take a photo of the cover?"
"You still haven't said it out loud yet. So you're someone who gave up so easily."
"You … Why did you help me? " She could tell that Chen Jiaxian was trying to goad her. He was a top executive of the television station and everyone knew that he treated people fairly and was kind to them, so he probably wouldn't lie to her.
As long as you agree to one condition, this cover will be yours. Moreover, not only will Ling Qiao's side convince him, even if you reveal the truth, I will also help you clean up the mess.
She knew how much influence LA had on the cover of its first edition next year, which would be held around the same time as the awards ceremony. If she could get on the cover of the first publication and win this year's rookie award, she would be able to rise to the top in one step.
"What condition?"
"Find a suitable opportunity to apologize to ShuShu Ta Bai. Don't hold onto the thought of getting lucky. The matter will be exposed in the end. I have to think of a way to clean up this mess of yours."
Shen Xiaoxuan looked at him and suddenly asked, "Why do you care so much about Shu Shu's matters? …" Do you like her? "
"What are you talking about? She's Ling Qiao's wife, how could I have such thoughts!" Chen Jiaxi tried his best to defend himself. He could only say that he had a good impression of Shu from the start. However, after he found out that she was Ling Qiao's wife, he beat her up no matter what …
It disappeared, "Shen Xiaoxuan, do you think Ling Qiao will let you go if you hurt Shu Shu so much? I'm afraid it's not as simple as letting you leave the entertainment circle. If you don't apologize to ShuShu and obtain her forgiveness, will Ling Qiao let you off? "
"This... How does Ling Qiao plan to deal with me? "
Chen Jiqian deliberately said mysteriously, "Maybe no one would have thought of what he did. Even if we have a good relationship, I still don't know."
Shen Xiaoxuan lowered her head and softly said, "Actually, on the side of Shu Shu, I have to go and apologize. As for Shen Xiaoxuan, she lowered her head and softly said," Actually, on the side of Shu Shu, I have to apologize.
"I won't say it. How do I say it? That is your problem and I cannot stop you. In any case, you should give me an answer as soon as possible. Remember, you must not lose this opportunity."
The Chen family left after being stunned for a while. Towards Shen Xiaoxuan, he was really impressed. She was so tactful and stubborn, but her haggard and helpless look made him unable to let her go. Sometimes, he really suspected that she was a love expert.
After work, just as Ling Qiao was about to go home, his secretary knocked on the door and asked, "CEO, are you not going for dinner?"
"I'm not going. My wife is still waiting for me at home. You guys are having fun. Also, send an email on my behalf to let the employees who are on leave come home for a good year, to let the employees who are not on leave stay on the job and the company will not treat them unfairly. "
"Yeah, I understand. It's always been like this in the past, and it's the same today. I won't leave it out."
"Alright, then I'll be leaving first."
When he got home, his home had changed. There was a couplet posted at the door, and when he opened it, he saw 'Blessed' and 'Little Lantern'. There was a hotpot on the table, steaming, and the fragrance of incense filled the entire hall.
"Husband is back? How about hot pot tonight? "
"Sure." Ling Qiao took off his jacket and hung it on the hanger. "What are you cooking? It smells so good!" He was drooling at the smell.
"Boiled pills, ah. The supermarket is lowering the price and buying a lot of them. I'm counting on you to come back soon, so I'll open the hotpot first. You can eat it as soon as you come back."
Ling Qiao hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and nibbled on it. After taking a bite, it was hot and refreshing as it dripped down the soup.
"Is it delicious?"
"Yes, it's really delicious."
"Tomorrow New Year's Eve, I'll make crabs for you."
"You will?"
"Just do it. I bought four, but they're fresh, alive and fat."
"Alright."
This house was becoming more and more like a home. How could it be so popular in the past? It would always be the same after the new year. Ever since there was a comfortable life, this house had changed.
